A 900 At 12 Years Old – Kid Is Going To Be Damn Good

I just caught this clip over at ESPN – check the video below to see a very casual 900 from a 12 year old Tom Schaar. He stomped this at the MegaRamp facility at Woodward West. Shaar is the eighth person to land the 900 and the youngest by two years. The most recent successful new entrant into the club was Elliot Sloan with the 900 tail from the Maloof Money Cup in South Africa. Read the full article over here and click the vid below to be amazed.

Just FYI – the other seven who have landed this are:

– Tony Hawk
– Giorgio Zattoni
– Sandro Dias
– Alex Perelson
– Bob Burnquist
– Mitchie Brusco
– Elliot Sloan
– Tom Schaar

According to this Wikipedia entry, the trick has been spun but not ridden away from by Danny Way, Tas Pappas and Rob Boyce. Who’s going to be the first to ride away from a 10?
